pursued this opportunity by seeking to use the construction sites as the basis for acourse on the construction process and the roles engineers have in construction. In other words,the projects were used as active learning “centers” through which students will learn and applyengineering concepts and the construction process.Construction engineering education is not new, dating back to the 1950’s 1, and industry hasplayed in important role in the establishment of such programs. The Construction Engineeringand Management degree program at Purdue University, established in 1972, has stronguniversity-industry collaborations in program development and delivery4.

that regardless of the valve(s) position, the water levels are equal for no-flowconditions.Instrument DescriptionThe Hydrodynamic Wheatstone Bridge (HWB) shown in Figure 1, was designed for use as ahands-on lab instrument. It utilizes a 1000 mL graduated cylinder filled with water and placedadjacent to the bridge to create the applied pressure (voltage) to the pipe network (circuit).Swagelok valves represent the four strain gages in the legs of the circuit. The valves areconnected by ¼" OD tubing and 45º brass fittings. Manometer tubes, (Fig. 2) are located in-between the valves, allowing the students to measure the water column height or head (voltage)and the changes caused by opening or closing one or more valves.

Energy Conversion and Conservation

EducationEnergy efficiency emerged as a dominant societal interest in 1973, the year of the first Arab oilembargo, when the continued availability of energy resources was called into question. Today,attention is returning to the analysis of fossil fuel depletion that was begun by M. King Hubbertin the 1950’s, which shows that conventional oil and gas resources will be exhausted by themiddle of this century.It now seems likely that replacement energy supplies will fall far below present levels and thatall energy supplies will become expensive enough to limit their use. These changes will occurduring the working lives of today’s engineering students. The only reliable solution is toradically improve the efficiency of our energy usage. The present

It is also becoming more difficult to coverengineering public policy at anything other than the federal level because of the vast amount ofinformation. And, it is important for the instructor to maintain a classroom environment thatrespects differing political perspectives, and in fact, highlights the many aspects other thanpolitics that affect technology policy.References1.
